Airline Customer Service Plans
In September 1999, U.S. airlines that are members of the Air Transport Association released Customer Service Plans that fulfill a commitment made by the association to the traveling public. These plans describe what the carriers will do in areas such as:
- notifying passengers of known flight delays and cancellations
- meeting customers’ essential needs during long on-aircraft delays
- allowing reservations to be held or tickets to be refunded within 24 hours of purchase
- being more responsive to customer complaints
Other commitments to air travelers to improve service are also covered. The following links will take you to the airlines’ Customer Service Plans on the air carriers’ web sites.
